Guides and training for getting started with your teaching
Teaching guides and information sheets
Several teaching guides and information sheets are available to help you design and run your lessons. How should I design my lesson? What teaching resources should I use? What activities should I offer my students? How can I assess their learning? You can find practical information and advice in the documentation provided by the ICI.
Please note: All documentation provided is accessible via your Sciences Po email account firstname.lastname@sciencespo.fr and password.
